FBI Whistleblower Jane Turner

Statement

FBI Whistleblower Jane Turner

Sen. Chuck Grassley issued the comment below about the end of the FBI's campaign against Jane Turner, a former child-crime agent for the bureau who suffered retaliation for reporting misconduct by FBI officials. Today the Justice Department rejected a request by the FBI to continue appealing a jury verdict that found the FBI guilty of illegal retaliation against Agent Turner.

Sen. Grassley's comment:

"It's good news that the Justice Department will put an end to the FBI's effort to dodge accountability with endless appeals. Now the FBI needs to accept responsibility by imposing real consequences for the bureau officials whose conduct resulted in this verdict. Someone other than the taxpayer needs to pay, or the retaliation won't stop."
